Paula Hello Everyone and welcome to The Courageous Journey. I have an exciting episode with for you today. I am actually going to be talking with doctor Mike Hennes from The Neural Connection. He is the doctor that if you've been seeing any of my social media, or you've listened to me talk about in any of my speaking engagements, I often refer to him as doctor Mike. And the person that I have worked with, I had get a lot of questions about my care with him, so I brought him on, especially since I'll be speaking at the National conference on the hotline Conference against Domestic Violence here in a couple days. So I want to say this. I gave him a bunch of questions, and I know that we have a limited time, so I'm going to kind of just frame it as this in what a lot of my, my talks are about. So as a survivor of childhood trauma, a score of nine domestic violence, I had a near-fatal strangulation and had multiple, you know, diagnoses when I first went to functional medicine in 2019. So I'm going to doctor Mike was the third doctor that I saw, and I have seen him three times. I know that one of the things, Mike, that people ask is like, what exactly is functional medicine? And one of the things that I think that I have a really hard time explaining to people is that like that I can that you can heal and kind of like what you guys actually do. Like, how did I go out? How do I come out there so symptomatic? And then I come back in just a few days with you guys so much better. And I think the other thing that I have a really hard time conveying to my audience is that can emotional trauma cause physical symptoms. So and I guess I'll say one more thing. I used to think that I was a unicorn, you know, with this DV hit to the head chronic illness thing. And I am not there are so many people that are getting lost in the medical system. Can you also kind of help address that? Sure. Dr. Hennes So let's take a one at a time. What is functional medicine? Functional medicine is more or less a different way of thinking about health care. So instead of trying to tailor treatment based on an individual test and something you find on that test, it's about looking at the whole picture and really tailoring care toward one person. And we're optimizing for function rather than looking for the deficit. So blood tests are a classic example of this. I'm not looking to see if you're sick. I'm looking to see how far away from perfect something is working and function. And then my specialty is a subset of functional medicine we're in specifically. So I'm very concerned about brain health brain function. And how do we make the individual parts of the brain work better. And how do we make all of the parts of the brain communicate with each other and your body as a whole, so that you can tell what's going on around you? And then there are a bunch of questions in there. The one I remember was emotional trauma. Interestingly, the brain, there's part of the brain, the that works specifically on emotion. But what's really interesting about the brain is that you can. If you think something your brain doesn't really know, the difference between what's in front of you or just your thought process. So stresses the classic example if you're anxious, if you're stressed, if you're thinking about that all the time, your brain is going to be stressed out. You're going to have physiologic changes, things that you can measure and see those things. If you wear any kind of fitness tracker, you'll see these things. When you're stressed, your sleep is going to be, or your heart rate variability is going to be not doing as well as it should. Your heart rate is probably gonna be higher. All of those sorts of things. So emotional trauma, damage, stress, whatever realm that you currently fit into is certainly going to impact physiology. And that's not necessarily going to show up on an MRI, right? If you have a long term and your blood pressure is high and you're having a lot of construction of blood vessels, you might end up with some microvascular disease. It would have to take a very long time. But, you know, long term down the line, you might start to find some of these things. You had a couple more questions in there, but we had a bunch at a time. Paula So for women listening to this and yes, men have the same things, but this is predominantly a woman thing. So there's women out there who have been victims of domestic violence. They've been hit to the head. They've had, you know, strangulation in those types of things. And they're being told, oh, you're hormonal. You know, your your seat looks fine, your blood works fine. Oh, you probably got anxiety, depression. And, you know, they just they have chronic illness. They just can barely get out of bed. And I try to explain them like neuro fatigue. But why is, you know, I think that I, my title is often invisible injuries because that's what it was for me. They people couldn't see it. And so ...
